The limits of an Ireland analogy for Taiwan

Has a situation comparable to China and Taiwan ended without war?

No convincing parallel is identified in the exchange; the Ireland comparison is tentative and does not establish a future outcome.

Ireland's relationship with Britain is a tentative parallel for the confrontation over Taiwan. Its history of conflict supplies no example of a peaceful resolution in this comparison. Different circumstances also limit how far the analogy can be taken. Without a satisfactory parallel, the future outcome remains unresolved.
